Excitement is contagious!  Excitement is vibrant!  Excitement is grabbing hold of the moment and sucking the marrow out of it.  There is some excitement in the air right now as we switch from one year to another!  There is excitement when we are preparing for a big event in our lives.  It is often generated when it comes to times of anticipated fun, completion, or new beginnings.  These are all good contexts in which to be excited.  But what about excitement for today?  Are you excited to be alive?  Are you excited that you got to breathe this morning?  Are you excited about what the day holds?  Most of the everyday stuff we think we just need to get through so that we can have those days that we are excited about.  But what if today is the only day we have?  What if today there are little things inside of it that warrant or need some excitement?  What if our day if full of exciting things but we are so used to looking at them through clouded lenses and lack that we can’t see a reason to be excited?  My prayer for us today is that we ask God to open our eyes to the excitement that is built into our every day and have the courage to take it in.  Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
